Trainee Sales Engineers with no sales experience, but of a similar educational background are also sought.

Your dedication, loyalty and hard work will be rewarded with a remuneration package and unrivalled career development opportunities that only to be expected from a world leader.

Recently, more and more manufacturing companies have been moving towards automation to increase efficiency and product quality, and to reduce cost and labour at the same time to remain competitive in the global market. The technology to help manufacturing companies automate their production has also been developing much quicker than even just a few years ago.

In this rapidly growing and competitive industry, KEYENCE has always been recognized as a supplier of the highest quality cutting-edge products. Why is KEYENCE so consistently strong? The answer is simple - because we know what customers require for their automation much more quickly and accurately than anybody else in the industry. This can be only achieved through our direct communication with customers in over 40 industrial countries. We are very proud of the fact that nobody else in our industry has such a solid and extensive global network of direct relationships with customers.

Many traditional manufacturers of automation equipment supply their products through distribution companies because manufacturing automation is a relatively specialized field. However, KEYENCE has been dealing with its customers directly since its foundation over 25 years ago. Now its presence in the world is quite outstanding due to its established network of group companies at every industrial country including the US, Germany, China and Japan.

At KEYENCE we listen to customers directly rather than through distribution companies. We directly provide them with solutions and expert advice . Our engineers are not just sales representatives but consulting engineers - and that is what we pride ourselves on.
